Page 1: MAKING THE HOLIDAYS MEMORABLE TAKES A LOT OF PEOPLE … · by sharing our gratitude for all of these behind-the-scenes workers who drive the holidays home. MAKING THE HOLIDAYS MEMORABLE

Landscapers, farmers, truckers, municipal employees, pet groomers, package delivery personnel,

volunteers, petroleum employees and so many others are responsible for driving the holidays home,

including moms, dads and Santa, of course. But these people operate vehicles — not sleighs — in

order to get this important work done so all of us can make new memories. Let’s #KeepThanksMoving

by sharing our gratitude for all of these behind-the-scenes workers who drive the holidays home.

MAKING THE HOLIDAYS MEMORABLE TAKES A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO COVER A LOT OF MILES.

2 MILLION VOLUNTEERS

DELIVER MORE THAN MEALS FOR MEALS ON WHEELS

THEY ALSO DELIVER SMILES AND WELLNESS CHECKS TO SENIOR ADULTS WHO WELCOME THE VISITS — ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOLIDAYS.5

BUT ON THE BUSIEST MAIL ING DAY OF THE YEAR, DEC. 15, 960 MILLION P IECES OF MAIL ARE PROCESSED. 214 ,500 DEL IVERY VEHICLES BRING HOLIDAY CHEER TO YOUR FRONT DOOR. 4

826 MILLIONPIECES OF MAIL ARE

PROCESSED DAILY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON

EACH FARMER SUPPLIES FOOD FOR APPROXIMATELY 165 PEOPLE.

FROM

2.1 MILLION FARMS

IN THE U.S.

BUT IN THE 1960’S, EACH FARMER SUPPLIED FOOD FOR ABOUT 26 PEOPLE.6

Here’s a tree that commemorates all of the Michelin

tires that #KeepThanksMoving during the holidays:

Mining vehicles, dump trucks, commercial trucks, tractors, RVs, passenger vehicles,

forklifts, commercial mowers and more. The people who operate these machines make

our holiday preparations complete. The Michelin star that adorns this treetop, or

“macaron” in French, looks like a six-petal flower. The Michelin star was introduced in

the renowned Michelin Guide in 1926 as a way to recognize the know-how, creativity

and quality of cuisine in exceptional restaurants. Some fortunate travelers will celebrate

holiday gatherings in Michelin-starred restaurants that are “worth a special journey.”

See Michelin-lifestyle.com for more information about the gifts under this tree.

APPROXIMATELY

25–30 MILLION LIVE CHRISTMAS TREES

ARE GROWN ON

15,000 FARMS IN ALL 50 STATES AND CANADA1

RESPONSIBLY HARVESTED WOOD IS A SUSTAINABLE SOURCE OF HEAT IN

41 MILLION WOOD STOVES AND WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACES USED

THROUGHOUT THE U.S.2 — THAT’S A LOT OF ROASTING CHESTNUTS

... involving a lot of miles to get the food, presents, packages and people where they are

going. It also takes a lot of these dedicated professionals to drive many miles to clean the

yards, light the streets, deck the halls, load the wood-bins for yule-tide fires, bathe the pets,

pull the floats in holiday parades, and deliver trees and wreaths to the nearest lots.

Getting ready for the holidays is often the busiest time of the year ...

THE WORLD’S FIRST STRING OF CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
